Leverage by entity

The licence belongs to the firm; a leverage figure belongs to one entity. Only the entity that onboards Mexican residents enters the score.

The entity that onboards youGlobal entity for MexicoLocal or offshore not stated in the source · CNBV licence —
1:400 group
Mexico median, local entities: 1:50 · 18 of 20 statedGroup figure, not the local one

Scale from 1:10 to 1:3000, logarithmic.

"group" marks a figure the broker publishes for the group rather than for this country. It is shown because the broker states it, and it is not ranked, averaged or used to sort.

Client protection

  • Local entity onboards youNot locally regulated
  • Regulator warning on filenone found

— means the broker does not state it in any source we captured. It is not read as “no protection” and it is not scored.

    Methodology(6 axes · formula v1.0)

    Score = 2 + 3 × weighted mean of six axes scored 0–100. Range 2.0–5.0. An axis without data drops out and the remaining weights are renormalised; it is never scored zero or estimated. Group-wide figures never enter a Mexico score. Full methodology
